Number 3: Fruit & Mapel Oatmeal
I think you if I asked you to guess what would be on this list. Most of you would have put down oatmeal. We all know that oatmeal is a great option of choice for a healthy lifestyle so it really isn’t a huge surprise that it came in the top 5 healthiest McDonald’s breakfast menu items. The Fruit & Mapel Oatmeal has a calorie count of 290, only 4 grams of fat and 160 milligrams of sodium.
Number 2: Egg White Delight
We have all heard that eating your eggs will make you big and strong. The Egg McMuffin has already made the list by taking the number 4 slot, so the egg white delight was bound to be here somewhere. With impressive figures of 250 calories, 8 grams of fat and 770 milligrams of sodium choosing an Egg White Delight is a solid option.
It should be noted that you can choose an egg white, rather than a normal egg, in your McMuffin to make it that little but healthier at any time. It is one of the great things about McDonald’s. They allow you to specialize your order. So if you want an Egg McMuffin, but want to make it that little bit healthier, opt for changing your eggs, to egg whites.

Boasting amazing figures, ordering the Fruit ‘n Yogurt Parfait will see you consume, 150 calories, 2 grams of fat and 70 milligrams. It is clearly the healthiest option of them all.
